. Justice Was Nervous.
While at bis store at Mt Tabor Satur
day Thomas Graham, justice of th
peace for the Mt Tabor district, wss
called to the telephone, and told to come
at one to the office of th County Clerk.
Hastily jumping on th oar, Graham
rushed with all possible speed to the
clerk's office as th instructions over the
'phone were that the case was very Im
portant Imagine the Justice's surprise
whan he was informed by th olerk that
he waa expected to perform a- marriage
ooremoay. The lustlcs never saw a wed
ding performed except one, and that
tup he never paid any attention to what
the maglo words were, so he waa about to
decline to perform one of the duties of
the office. He was told to go ahead any
way, and. the Intending couple, Ernest G.
Beer, of Gresham, and Miss Ethel E.
Hamlin, of Pleasant Home, said that It
would be all right, so tha justice started
in. It waa only a short time before the
Judge waa all mixed up In his wedding
speech, and for some time he didn't know
whether he wss getting married or th
other fallow. Somehow or other he man
aged to say something and 'the couple
considered themselves weddedr ' The Jus
tice doesnt know what he said during
the ceremony, but says that in the future
he will study up a few speeches,, and so
be ready for the next couple that want
to be united. '

FRUIT-AND, -GRAIN DAMAGED
BY RECENT WINDS
Th following weekly crop bulletin, is
sued by Edward A. Beals for th Ore
ton section for th week ending yesterday
Is as follows:
No rain has fallen, except a few show
ers early In th week, In the Willamette
valley and the Coast counties. Th wsek
has averaged the warmest of the sea
son. Tbs first part was unseasonably
cool, after which the temperature roae
quite rapidly. Th maximum or day tem
peratures in western Oregon ranged . be
tween 69 degree and 98 degrees, and the
minimum of night temperaturea between
46 degree and 65 degrees. In eastern
Oregon the- maximum temperaturea
ranged between 0 degrees and 100 de
grees, and the minimum temperaturea
between 44 degrees and 64 degrees.
, One of the severest windstorms ever,
known at this season of the year swept
across the entire state on the afternoon
and night of the 14th. Ripe grain, fruit,
hops and cut hay were badly damaged by
the wind In many sections. Barley, be
ing farther along, suffered the most, and
the yields will be considerably lessened
from this cause. The damage to wheat
waa not so great, owing to the fact that
'much of it was too green to be badly
shattered, although the green wheat waa
knocked down, the heads whipped off snd
the straw broken in numerous exposed
plsces In different parts of the state.
Fruit also suffered quite extensively;
many apples were blown off the trees
and even the trees themselves were in
some caaes blown down. The damage to
fruit was greateat in the Willamette val
ley and the coast .counties. The laterala
to- th hop vines were torn away and
In the more exposed yards the poles were
blown down, In the case of cut hay the
stacka were blown down and the loose
hay waa scattered over the fields. Most
of It waa later recovered in fairly good
condition, and the damage to the hay
crop by the windstorm did not amount
to much.
The hot weather during the last few
days of the week dried up pastures, and
feed on the foothills Is fast becoming
poor. Stock, however, continues in good
condition, and the flow of milk In the
dairy districts has not shrunk more than
usual at this season of the year. Hay
ing Is nearly finished, and some have
begun cutting their second crop of alfal
fa. The hay crop is an average one, and
it has generally been secured In good con
dition. Thef&ll grain harvest nas begun, and
th cutting of grain will become general
all over the "state by fhe first of next
week. Corn, potatoes, hops and gardens
are growing nicely and the weather was
Just what these crops needed for rapid
advancement.

COLUMBIA RIVER VALLEY.
Pendleton, Umatilla County, A. Ruppe
A heavy windstorm prevailed generally
over the county th evening of th 14th,
which did; considerable damage to early
winter wheat and barley; some farmers
claim a loss Of from one-quarter to one
half a crop from either shattered grain
or on account of the heada being broken
off or stalks blown down. The greatest
amount of damage done by shattering
was to early "Cox" and "Honora" wheat;
no damage has been done to reseeded
wheat; except that the very cool winds
of the 14th, 15th and 16th will have the
effect of lessening the quality and con
sequently to some extent the yield. Har
vest has been . in progress west and
south of Pendleton during, the week past,
and the yields of both wheat and barley
are fair. East and north of Pendleton a
few fields of early ''Cox" wheat and some
barley have been cut and stacked. In
the latter section harvest will not be
general Until August. -

Those That Don't Bite Carry Disease
on Their Feet. ' .
(Journal Special Service.)
WASHINGTON, July 22. The United
States Government has opened hostili
ties on the common enemy of mankind,
the fly, and the Agricultural Department
will devote Itself to exterminating the
Insect without regard to class or previous
condition. f
It will be remembered no doubt that In
recent years thai Agricultural Department
haa made a specialty of studying the dis
eases distributed by Insects, the mosquito
being put under the ban some time ago.
The literature sent out by the Govern-
ment will dispel the illusion that the
common housefly bites, but It will also
call attention to the fact that this In
sect, the "miisca domestics," is a dang
erous creature, even if he can not give
human beings those tantalising' little nips
with which he has been credited.
"With disease caused by bacterial organ
Isms (which belong to the plant kingdom
and not to the animal kingdom) a biting
Insect Is not necessary for their transfer
from the sick Individual to the healthy
one in the majority of cases. Such dis
eases are notably typhoia fever, cholera,
and pulmonary consumption. With these
diseaaes. and especially the first two,
the) agency of th nonbltlng files becomes
Important, and the part they play In
the transmission of typhoid fever Is
practically noticeable. It has been known
for some time that files may carry bacilli
and bacteria on their feet. That waa
experimentally . proved by allowing flies
to walk over 'culture,' for, later, when
they walked over sterilised media, the
bacteria developed. Moreover, as early
as 1888 It was shown by an Italian in
vestigator that flies fed upon pure cul
tures of typhoid bacillus were able to
transmit virulent bacilli. Again, early
observations demonstrated that files are
Important agents in. the transmission of
Aslatio cholera.
RUMORED EXTENSION.

Postoffice. ; v
Letters from Theroa E. Fell and Joha
R. Dodson, who took a blg outfit to Mas- '
todon Creek, in Alaska, to develop vaW
able placer mining properties, say that "
a postofflc is to b established: there,
and that Walter P, Fell, formerly of this
city, is to be postmaster. , J , 'tr
Operations are now upon a seal differ -ent
from that of the early stampeding '
days, when miners went ia with paoke
upon their backs, sndj carried a "grub
stake" and a goldpan. Nowadays, im
mense outfits go In, with money behind '
the enterprises, and ground on the creeks -la
owned in large stretches. Th Masto
don Company; of which th Falls and
Dodsons are owners, took In several ear
loads of supplies and machinery, pur
chased In Portland, and shipped - from '
Seattle. They find that It costs 28" cents
a pound to transport stuff from, Circle .
City to the mines on Mastodon Creek. ,'
and facilities for carrying airs not plenti
ful. Most of th supplies will b taken'
from Circle City on th snow next winter 'i
by dog teams, and expense thereby will
be considerably lessened, for the Masto
don Company owns a number of dogs and
will therefore be able to avoid paying
the excesslvs charges. t - . v '
Speaking of the travel sfeers, Mr. Feu
says: . f. . t
"I verily believe that ths alteration la
conditions here bringing more comfort
for the traveler less mosquitos, and that'
Is a great thing up her is due to the '
work of th miners in removing moss la '
so many places, and therefor curing the
mosquito pest In part, at least. It Is:
noticeable that th mosquitos are less
bothersome than they were formerly, and
this will be appreciated as a wonderful
Improvement by all who have been In
th Klondike or Alaska.'' - i
The company expects to have Its. large
sluicing plant in full operation during all
of next season.
